“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
― Albert Einstein
I thought I would share this. Perla, you are NOT stupid. Actually, I would infer the opposite from the way you write, so don't worry about what those people are saying; they don't know what they are talking about.

Maybe you can get to the bottom about what it is about the school thing that gets to you, the deadlines, the work load, the people? I agree that no one really cares if you graduated high school, I "graduated" from home school because I would have killed myself or someone else had I been left at regular school. When I was recovered I started with community college. That's the diploma I show off.

I don't know if they have it elsewhere but we have telecourses where you watch a TV show at home and meet on campus a few times. Or are there on line classes you can take? Is there something where you can earn a certificate which lets you work in your chosen field without having to take extra classes you don't want/need?

As for my personal suck I hope I'm not getting sick

besides the fact that i accidentally deleted a whole course worth of work i was almost finished doing....

I think its that i fell behind when i got my wisdom teeth out and none of my teachers got work ready for me like i asked them to.... which made me more behind and when i got back they only told me to do the "important assignments" and wont tell me what else i missed or tell me what my mark currently is..... they wont make a list of things i need to hand in. =/ they keep telling me its fine and im not failing yet but i want to know whats going on... i need to know that what im doing matters and i feel i need to do ALL of my work not jsut "the important assignments".... i didnt come back to just pass i came back to do WELL. and theyre trying to slide me by getting me to only do the bare minimum. it pisses me off and makes it difficult to focus on the new assignments. I'm a perfectionist. i cant jsut ignore that im missing work and go every day with no effin idea how im doing.


BLUH. i know that feeling, when i dropped out when i was 17 i felt like i was gunan end up doing something stupid if i stayed there.


also Thanks cirquemom =3 hopefully i can get the file back... but if not i'll find another way to do what i love XD i love cutting and dying hair more than doing anything else in the world XD its kinda weird... my boyfriend has to purposely keep me away from the hair dye isle or it'll be impossible to get me out XD and i tend to stock pile dye until i have enough to put rainbows in my hair like this and do crazy things.... theres no way i'd let something like high school stop me from doing hair every day XD

I'll work this out no matter what XD i wont give up. following my passion would be better than doing anything else no matter how hard it might be.

lol plus i got new depression pills to try out for a month and hopefully these ones wont make me sick like my other ones did (they said side effect would go away in 2 weeks but after a month they still make me dizzy and sick so my doctor gave me this instead.)

Ok...a couple of things to help you out. First...send what you just wrote about the assignments and how you feel about them to you teachers, assistant principal, principal, and guidance counselor. That will put a fire under their asses to do what is right. I had SEVERAL people out for long periods of time in my classes (mostly because of pregnancies and jail times) and, yes, there were a few times that I just couldn't get all the work together for these kids. You know what I did. Gave them the major assignments to do and left the rest blank. I didn't count any work that I couldn't give them, so my students who were out were always able to pass.

Second, if this doesn't work immediatly look into a GED program through that same school. Almost all schools can help you get a GED or have programs, that are free, that will help you.

Third, my first job in high school was Sally's Beauty Supply. I loved doing hair, expecially dye, and adored working for them. As soon as you can, try getting work at a place like that. They will train you to know the basics, but I suspect you already are passed that. Also, it will give you a chance to socialize with professional hair dressers. It's never to early to make contacts.

I hope some of this helps. I know how the school systems work, or don't work as the case may be, but they aren't there to stop you from getting an education. It actually looks bad on them if you don't graduate, so keep pushing them to work with you.

First of all- you are adorable!

Second of all- maybe the teachers are just leaving out the boring stupid busy work that isn't important anyway. my boyfriend in high school hated doing homework and he worked out a deal with his teachers- as long as he got A's on the tests, he didn't have to turn in homework. So maybe your teachers are giving you the benefit of the doubt because they don't NEED you to prove you can do the stupid boring shit.

I have a feeling you're going to be okay- you'll get your diploma and then be able to move on. I love your hair. A friend of mine has long hair (like mine) and she got "mermaid hair" very subtle streaks of colors (like purple, teal, blue, green) in it. I'm going to get that done to my hair too. Too bad you don't live near me, I bet you could do it for me!

SugarCorpse! What a fabulous photo! You are so freaking cute - and I love the hair!

@Perla I know exactly where you're coming from and for your own sake you might have to give up the battle. My sister did beauty pageants, I had holes in my clothes. Even to this day I have to scan any situation they get upset about to see if I can be blamed. My smother can't manage money well but thinks she can tell me how to spend mine, sister too. I stopped telling my smother how much my hobby cost period. To her all my precious 1/6 Littles are Barbies or PTE guys from the store. You are not alone in this fight, you are not the problem child, the whole family is.

@Sugar You might need an aptitude test to see what skills you already have and what you need to fill in to give you a new direction. There might be things you can do or almost do that you didn't know you had the skills for. You couldn't tell me an art/fine art major barely passing history and math could ace physical geography until I did it and saved my GPA.

The hair does rock. One of my friends just graduated from cosmetology and got a job working under a master stylist. She's so excited. She was sick of high school so got her GED instead so she could push on toward what she really wanted to do.

To everyone dealing with annoying everything: SPAM HUGS!! I Spam-hug you all!

DMP has stopped publishing books in print. Wahhhhh!

it can be incredibly frustrating to a person when someone you know doesn't live up to the intellectual potential they could have.

So? It's their problem.

I'm sorry, I didn't read everything in this discussion but this remark was just demanding a reply...

In high school I got in a terrible fight with a teacher I looked up to. I said I wanted to be a teacher in primary school, which isn't an honorable position here. When I was 18 I was tested at Mensa and my IQ was apparently 142. My teacher was incredibly angry that I'd let my intelligence go to waste by being a primary school teacher. I was insecure and gullible and went to university, only to drop out a year later because it was NOT meant for me. After three years of working at supermarkets I realized I wanted to be a teacher and I followed my dream. I had a boyfriend at the time who said I should teach at universities with my intelligence (because teaching in primary schools was 'below me' according to him), but that is NOT what would have made me happy.

I followed my dream, my job makes me so happy every day. Screw people who think it's a waste.

Wow, that sucks that people in your life didn't think that a good primary school teacher is just as important as a good university teacher! Both of my daughters were damaged by bad teachers when they were very young, both of them still struggle with self-esteem issues as a result-never believing they are "smart", despite tons of evidence to the contrary, good grades later in life, good jobs, etc.
